No Netflix, no problem. Xbox One will have Starhub TV streaming app in Singapore
Singapore doesn’t have Netflix or similar on-demand online streaming services (Toggle doesn’t count), so Microsoft has done the next best thing: it has teamed up with Starhub to offer Xbox One users access to the Starhub TV Anywhere app library.
Eventually available for free download on Xbox One, the Starhub TV Anywhere app will have 89 channels available to existing Starhub customers. Non-customers will only be able to access Supersports Arena, which is cool anyway since it airs WWE!
(See: Xbox One to launch in China and Taiwan simultaneously, but guess where it’s cheaper!)
The Starhub TV Anywhere app will recognize voice and Kinect gestures, and will have a native Bing search. Lazy gamers will also be able to make use of the Smartglass app to turn their phones into remote controls.
Other general apps available for the Xbox One at Singapore’s September 23 launch include Youtube, Twitch, Machinima, Ted, Go Pro, and MLB.
Update 03-09-2014: The Starhub TV Anywhere Xbox One app will not be available at launch. We apologize for the error and have rectified the article to reflect this.
